The Deputy High Commissioner of India, Vinod K Jacob, reiterated India's long standing and principled position on meaningful devolution through full implementation of 13th Amendment and Provincial Councils.
Mr Jacob made this statement when he met with the leader of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress Rauff Hakeem MP on Wednesday (03).
Hakeem positively evaluated India's gesture of Covid vaccines to Sri Lanka. Both sides also discussed matters pertaining to economic, financial and development cooperation opportunities.
He shared his assessment about the challenges facing the Muslim community in recent times. He also briefed about the issues involved in the forthcoming UNHRC session beginning later this month.
During the Virtual Bilateral Summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa in September 2020, the latter had expressed the confidence that Sri Lanka will work towards realising the expectations of all ethnic groups.
